Mint Chocolate Delight Cookies

1. 01 Introduction: Thank you for taking this class. In this class, I will teach you how to make mint chocolate delight cookies. I will first teach you how to make the cookie dough. Next, I will teach you how to skip the dough onto the baking sheets. For baking, I will teach you how to bake and cool the cookies. I'm a self-taught Baker. Many years ago, I decided I wanted to open up my own home bakery to make cakes for special occasions and other deserts. So I took some cake decorating classes, watched a lot of videos, read some books, and of course, did a lot of practice until my skills were at the level that I felt comfortable opening up this homeless. I had this business for several years until my husband got a job offer in New York City. We felt like this was a good move for us. And so I closed down my bakery and we moved across the country to New York City. Now here in New York City, I do not want to go through the steps to open up another home bakery, but I still love baking and I love teaching. I decided share my skills with you on Skillshare. This class is for the baker than we'd like to learn how to make these delicious mint chocolate delight. I'm excited to teach you the skills in this class. Let's move on to lesson number one, making the cookie dough. 2. 02 Making The Cookie Dough: We're ready to start making the cookie dough. We're going to combine in this bowl the flour, cocoa, and the salt and baking soda. And we just wanted to mix it up so that they're all combined. We're going to set this aside until we're ready to add it to the cookie dough. Mixing poll. We're going to pick our butter, which we brought to room temperature. We're going to add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla. Work going to beat until it becomes creamy. The warmer, the faster it will become. Still very cold. It will take longer for this to become. Take the software minutes. So you can see this is what it looks like when it is created. This back on. What did I mix them one at a time? Just a little bit. And then I'm going to add my second. And I'm going to be that a good mix, the flour mixture again, I do want to scrape this down. And I want to slowly add this flour mixture. So it dumps all of it on low speed so it doesn't require too much stuff is somewhat mixed. I can turn it up a little bit. Without mixed in. I wanted dumped in some more. Slow. Start that. Once that's payments. I can read it. That last part. I do want to scrape this down. Don't that last bit. Mixed in a little bit thoroughly mix. Now you can see that it's totally mix. We now want to finish up by adding in our baking chips, which is the milk chocolate chip. And I'm just going to dump these. I'm going to pick this on str, which is one. I'm going to make just enough to get those chips totally mixed into that. All of the cookie dough. Turn that up. I didn't feel like it really got its name as well as I wanted because too much of it was on them either. So I'm going to take it all off the beater sides. And I'm going to again, just do that on one to make sure those chips have completely missed it. Let's group that off again. This time I'm going to take the feet are off because we had done mixing, scrape that best I can. And this is the time where you probably want to taste a tiny bit that's on the Peter to make sure it tastes stretch. And there is our cookie dough ready to be put on the cookie sheets and baked. 3. 03 Dropping The Dough Onto The Pans: I have my cookie sheet here, and we're now ready to get the cookies ready to break. And I'm using this ice cream scoop. It is one tablespoon size when measured with water. What I do is I just make us after cookie dough on a cookie sheet. And I just keep doing that. Until I have felt the sheets. I'm spreading them about to anticipate part. So they have room to spread. Once I have my cookie sheet, I'll be ready to bake it. I want to make just one at a time because that way I can be filling the other. Well, it's baking. Cookies can be the middle of that so that they could evenly. So I have my cookies here and I like to just kinda pressing down a little bit. Two fingers. Not a whole lot. Now that excess that goes beyond the scope, I am going to take that off to make it more the size of the others. These are now going to cook. The recipe says 11 to 13 minutes, but I find most cookies do not take more than ten minutes, so I'm gonna check them. At ten minutes. They could add a 325 degree temperature though, which is a little bit less than the normal 350. So it might take the 11 to 13 minutes, but you're going to want to start checking at ten minutes. I'll put this in the oven and I'll continue making the cookies. Next lesson, I'll show you what we do after the fact. 4. 04 Baking And Cooling: As you can see, the cookies and cookie, the timer is about ready to go off at ten minutes. When the timer goes off, we will open and check and see if they've done. So. We want to open up the oven and pull these out. And then looking pretty good, we just wanted to touch on going to take this out. And they're going to sit on the PAM chloride minutes. Now ready to stick these cookies. I'll see Evan on the middle of that. And we're going to give those same amount of time. These cookies have about a minute on the path. I'm just going to very carefully move them to the cooling rack to finish cooling. Then I'll be able to use this pan again for my next batch of cookies. Cookies for now, cool on the cooling rack. 5. 05 Final thoughts: Thank you for taking this class. We had fun making our mint chocolate chip cookies. You learned how to make the cookie dough. We then dropped our cookie onto the baking sheets by using a very small ice cream scoop. You could also use a spoon. But for exactness, I prefer using the small ice cream. After they were dropped onto the cookie sheet, we baked cookies. With our cookies baked. We were then able to call them to room temperature. And now we have a plate full of cookies to share with our friends and family. Yeah. I hope your cookies turned out the way that you wanted them to. Your project for this class is to make these mint chocolate delight cookies. The recipe is in the project section of this class. Please make sure to post a picture and tell us how it went. I look forward to seeing you from my kitchen to your kitchen.
